Good size8# comboalarm !I love it ,just the side I needed.The alarm goes off any time you touch or attempt to open the safe. It's essentially useless. The instructions to disable it do not work, so the only option is to cut the wire to it. The keypad is also extremely unreliable and the safe often doesn't open with the code. I've given up on the worthless electronics and I use it as an overpriced keyed safe.We bought this safe for storing important paperwork. It arrived in good order with instructions and keys in a bag taped to the outside of the safe inside the box. I fitted the batteries and tried to set the code following the supplied instructions, I made several attempts all ending in the alarm activating and having to use the keys to access the reset button to reset the the code. I then tried re-entering our chosen code but instead of pushing the "ENTER" key as per the instructions I opted to press the "KEY SYMBOL" button which worked and stored my code as it should. I shut the door, locked it with the locking lever. To unlock and open the safe I re-entered my code and the pressed the "ENTER" button instead of the "KEY SYMBOL" button and turned the door lever and "Hey Presto" the door opened as it should without the alarm sounding or using the keys.The keypad locking system failed in exactly the same way as an identical safe model that I bought just a few weeks earlier. Yale have been very difficult to deal with. They are not only very slow to respond but they have no way you can contact a staff member once they have responded and asked for video evidence. My problem has not been resolved after more than a month. VERY DISAPPOINTED.Beggars belief that a Company like Yale can’t issue the correct user instructions. After several failed attempts to set up the safe resulting in the alarm going off and it refusing to open, I was about to send it back to Amazon. I had a quick look at the feedback and found ‘error in instructions’.When you set up your code, you press the key code NOT enter and when you want to open it you put in your code followed by enter NOT the key symbol. The feedback I read was from Sep 20, unbelievable that Yale have not corrected this.Great little buy. Got the small version but have to say it's perfect for storing cash and any personal documents etc plenty of space.Will admit the setting up procedure for the "tamper alarm" took a few attempts to get it to work. You get two bolts which are half decent I guess. As long as it's bolted down or screwed in to something it's all good. Played around with the alarm to see what could set it off, definitely worth the extra £20 when comparing with the non alarmed version!After spending best part of a month looking for a safe I settled for this. Read all The reviews on each safe then when i had made my mind up bam I found all the negative comments about them and ended up back at square one. Well this safe is great, it’s not too heavy seems pretty sturdy was easy as to set up. Took about 5 Mins to set the code. Mine is bolted to a solid wall. I didn’t use the bolts supplied but my own 120mm concrete screws I had in the van.The alarm works really well slightest knock and it goes off, although the alarm isn’t the loudest and probs would wake me up. I went for the large one which has the shelf in which is handy. Have added a soft padding to protect my valuables.This safe does exactly what it says.Have not problems with it.
